I like how the skeletal Mr. Bones used to dress like Charlie Brown as a kid. 🤣
@replicant_draws I don't know if it's completely antithetical, but wokeness does turn superheroes into insufferable assholes like Green Arrow.
To be clear: Captain America punching Hitler in the face or Superman dragging Hitler and Stalin before the League of Nations are political statements, yes, but ones in alignment with the American ideals of freedom and justice and their own moral characters, not "wokeness". 13/14
This means that their loyalty to America is not necessarily to the country, its people, or its government, but to the ideals upon which it was founded. If they were asked to do something which violated those principles "in the name of America", neither of them would do it. 6/14
What "The United States of Captain America" #1 gets right is that excessive patriotism can easily degenerate into nationalism or jingoism. If a misguided person tries interpreting the tenets of truth, justice and the American way...well, garbage in, garbage out, as they say. 4/14
Superman's history has been revised many times since his 1938 introduction, but, on those occasions where it was addressed, it was established that he was granted special U.S. citizenship by Congressional vote. He also has citizenship in all United Nations member countries. 10/17
